Monetary Policy Response to Stagflation - The Federal Reserve faces the challenge of responding to stagflationary shocks, such as those potentially caused by tariffs, which have both inflationary and supply-side effects [1] - The Fed aims to mitigate secondary impacts of tariffs, including wage-price spirals and increased production costs for domestic manufacturers due to tariffs on parts, components, supplies, and intermediate goods [1] - Determining which price increases are transitory and which require a policy response is a key task for the Fed [2] Data Dependency and Economic Outlook - Future monetary policy decisions depend on incoming economic data, particularly inflation reports, to gain clarity [3][4] - Strong economic data with inflation trending downwards would support the Fed's decision to lower interest rates to a settling point [3]
